Awesome story. Love the fact that Whirlpool still exists, and the subtle additions of things from the Sword of Truth series was fun too. Naruto's team is pretty badass, and I can't wait to see what the other teams think of them. Sasuke looks like he's even more unhinged than in cannon, and I'm not sure if I want Naruto to somehow redeem him, or just kick his ass. Overall this fic has been outstanding and I really hope the next update comes soon. Great job!
